INTRODUCTION. 

(GinkititnoO 


This  First  German  Reader  is  intended  especially  for 
the  use  of  those  pupils  who  have  studied  the  author's 
^'First  Book  in  GermanP 

The  selections  are  taken  from  the  best 
Selections.  ^^^  ^^^^  popular  writings  in  the  rich  and 
charming  juvenile  literature  of  Germany.  They  con- 
sist mostly  of  anecdotes,  fables,  tales,  and  pieces  of 
didactic  poetry.  The  style  of  the  selections  is  clear, 
simple,  and  elevated.  The  sentences  are  usually  short. 
The  words  employed  are  those  which  are  most  famil- 
iarly used  in  the  conversation  of  daily  life,  and  the 
whole  treatment  is  eminently  adapted  to  the  intel- 
lectual condition  of  the  juvenile  mind.  The  student 
will  recognize  a  number  of  pieces  with  Avhich  he  is  al- 
ready familiar  in  their  English  form.  It  will  be  inter- 
esting for  him  to  see  these  pieces  in  their  German  dress. 
By  this  comparison  of  the  two  languages,  the  German 
words  and  the  peculiarities  of  German  idioms  will  be 
strongly  impressed,  upon  the  mind  of  the  student. 

The  selections  in  poetry  are  great  favorites 
°®  ^^'  with  the  children,  many  of  these  being  famil- 
iar as  household  words  to  every  German  child  Their 
popularity  is  owing  to  their  charming  fresh  and  nervous 
style,  and  their  earnest  appeals  to  the  best  feelings  of 
the  human  heart.  It  would  be  an  interesting  exercise 
for  the  pupil  to  commit  these  little  poems  to  memory,

IV  INTRODUCTION. 

and  to  recite  them  in  the  class ;  it  would  also  give  an 
entertaining  variety  to  the  exercises  of  the  school  to 
have  these  poems  recited  in  declamation. 

Notes  and  ^^^  the  greater  convenience  of  the  young 
References,  student,  the  notes  are  placed  upon  the 
same  page  as  the  text.  They  contain  translations  or 
explanations  of  most  of  the  idioms  and  of  the  more  dif- 
ficult constructions.  Many  of  the  ellipses,  in  the  poet- 
ry especially,  are  supplied  in  full.  Many  of  the  invert- 
ed constructions  are  given  in  the  natural  form  of  the 
German  sentence.  Where  long  suspensions  occur,  as 
between  the  subject  and  the  verb,  or  between  the  verb 
and  prefix  of  compound  verbs,  the  connection  between 
the  separated  parts  in  many  cases  is  given,  or  is  pointed 
out.  For  the  explanation  of  grammatical  forms  and 
principles,  many  references  to  the  ''First  Book  in  Ger- 
mavb'^  are  given.  Occasional  illustrations  are  also  add- 
ed of  some  of  the  more  striking  and  simple  etymolog- 
ical analogies  and  differences  between  the  German  and 
English  languages. 

The  Vocabulary  is  sufficiently  full  and 
VocaDulary.    ^q^^\q^^q  foj.  \}^q  pieces  in  this  Reader. 

The  principal  parts  of  all  the  irregular  verbs,  both 
simple  and  compound,  are  given  in  full.  The  imperfect 
tense  and  the  perfect  participle  of  some  verbs,  in  which 
there  is  such  variation  of  the  stem  in  these  parts  from 
the  infinitive  as  to  perplex  the  beginner,  are  also  given 
alphabetically. 

This  First  German  Header^  in  thus  fol- 

In  Conclusion,    i^^i^g  the  Lessons  and  Conversations 

that  are  given  in  the  First  Booh  in  German^  will  serve 

a  valuable  purpose  in   aiding  the  young  student  to 


INTRODUCTION.  V 

realize  that  the  German  language  fulfills,  as  well  as 
does  his  own  vernacular,  all  the  purposes  and  offices 
of  a  language.  For  it  is  important  that  the  literary,  as 
well  as  the  grammatical  and  the  practical  sides  of  the 
language,  should  be  presented  to  the  student  thus  ear- 
ly, and  before  he  proceeds  to  the  more  rapid  and  more 
rigid  method  which  is  adapted  in  the  German  Course. 

While  this  Reader  is  designed  primarily  for  younger 
pupils,  older  students  also  will  derive  much  profit  from 
reading  the  simple  stories  and  tales  in  this  book,  be- 
fore reading  the  more  classical  pieces  in  the  advanced 
Reader.

COMFORT'S  GERMAN  SERIES. 


In  preparing  this  German  Series,  it  has  been  the  aim  of  the  author 
to  incorporate  the  most  advanced  views  and  principles  of  linguistic 
instruction,  as  held  by  the  best  writers  upon  philology,  and  the  best 
practical  educators  in  Europe  and  America.  Especial  preference 
has  been  given  to  those  features  of  approved  works  for  the  study  of 
modern  languages  which,  in  Europe  more  especially,  have  stood  the 
test  of  practical  use.  A  few  other  features,  also,  have  been  intro- 
duced which  have  been  adopted  with  eminent  success  by  the  most 
able  professors  of  modern  language  in  their  personal  instruction, 
but  which  have  not  heretofore  found  their  way  into  text-books. 
Care  has  been  taken  to  give  due  relative  prominence  to  each  of 
these  tried  and  approved  principles,  and  to  mould  them  into  a  ho- 
mogeneous system,  adapted  to  the  wants  of  those  schools  in  Amer- 
ica in  which  the  German  language  is  taught. 

On  the  one  hand,  the  aim  has  been  to  incorporate  as  much  in- 
formation concerning  the  grammatical  structure,  the  historical  de- 
velopment, the  linguistic  relations,  and  the  literary  character  of  the 
German  language  as  is  possible  within  the  period  that  is  usually  de- 
voted to  this  study ;  and,  on  the  other,  to  initiate  the  student  into 
the  most  practical  method  of  learning  to  read,  to  write,  and  to  speak 
'he  German  language.  

The  Series  includes  the  following  works : 

FIRST  BOOK  IN  GERMAN:  for  younger  pupils  in  Grammar 
Schools,  Academies,  and  Seminaries.  The  treatment  is  eminently 
practical  ;  the  words  and  sentences  are  such  as  occur  in  familiar 
conversation  ;  the  grammatical  rules  are  stated  in  simple  and  terse 
language,  and  are  illustrated  by  a  large  number  of  examples  ;  and 
the  Lessons  are  followed  by  a  collection  of  Familiar  Conversations, 
which  will  aid  the  pupil  to  express  himself  on  subjects  that  come 
naturally  within  the  range  of  the  juvenile  mind.  Although  intended 
primarily  for  young  classes,  it  may  be  used  with  advantage  as  an  in- 
troductory book  to  the  "  German  Course  "  by  those  of  a  more  ad- 
vanced age. 

FIRST  GERMAN  READER:  for  the  use  of  pupils  who  have 
studied  the  "  First  Book  in  German."  The  selections,  which  are 
from  the  best  and  most  popular  writings  in  the  charming  juvenile 
literature  of  Germany,  consist  mostly  of  anecdotes,  fables,  tales,  and 
pieces  of  didactic  poetry.  The  style  is  clear,  simple,  and  elevated. 
The  sentences  are  short,  and  the  words  employed  are  those  which 
are  most  familiarly  used  in  the  conversation  of  daily  life.  Abundant 
notes  are  given  for  the  explanation  of  the  text. 

GERMAN  COURSE  for  beginners  in  the  study  of  the  German 
language  of  a  more  advanced  age  than  those  for  whom  the  "  First 
Book  in  German  "  is  adapted  ;  or  for  those  who  are  already  familiar 
with  that  book.  It  consists  of  four  parts  :  Part  I.  Practical  Lessons 
for  learning  to  read,  write,  and  speak  the  German  language.  Part 
IL  Familiar  Conversations  in  German    and  English,  idioms    and 


ComforVs  German  Series. 


synonyms,  models  of  letters,  forms  of  business,  and  selections  from 
German  literature.  Part  III.  A  compend  of  German  Grammar, 
with  an  introduction  on  the  history,  characteristics,  and  dialects  of 
the  language.  Part  IV.  Tables  of  German  moneys,  weights,  and 
measures,  abbreviations,  personal  and  geographical  proper  names, 
and  German-English  and  English-German  vocabularies.  The  book 
is  eminently  philosophic  in  scope  and  practical  in  style,  and  is  well 
adapted  to  the  wants  of  classes  in  our  colleges,  academies,  and  high- 
schools. 

TEACHER'S  COMPANION  to  the  German  Course:  for  the 
use  of  comparatively  inexperienced  teachers,  containing  suggestions 
with  reference  to  methods  of  instruction  in  Jiving  language,  and  espe- 
cially with  reference  to  the  use  of  the  "German  Course."  It  con- 
tains a  key  to  the  exercises  in  the  lessons  of  Part  I.,  with  philological, 
historical,  geographical,  and  explanatory  notes  ;  a  key  and  notes  to 
Part  II.  ;  and  notes  to  Parts  III.  and  IV.  The  teacher  will  find  it 
invaluable. 

GERMAN  READER:  to  follow  the  "German  Course."  The 
selections  are  made  from  the  best  German  writers,  mostly  of. the 
present  century  ;  and,  that  the  student  may  feel  as  definitely  as  pos- 
sible the  spirit  of  the  language,  they  have  reference  to  Germany  and 
illustrate  German  history,  biography,  geography,  mythology,  and  so- 
cial life  and  customs.  Abundant  notes  are  added,  which  contain 
elucidations  of  the  more  difficult  constructions  and  explanations  of 
many  of  the  historical  events  and  social  customs  which  are  alluded 
to  in  the  text.  Copious  references  to  the  "  German  Course  "  are  in- 
terspersed. A  vocabulary  of  all  the  words  that  occur  in  the  text  of 
the  Reader,  and  full  indexes  of  authors  and  subjects  are  given  also. 

MANUAL  OF  GERMAN  CONVERSATION:  to  be  used 
alternately  with  the  Reader.  The  conversations  are  on  the  most 
familiar  subjects  of  daily  life  :  selections  from  the  "Illustrated  Cat- 
echisms of  the  Arts  and  Sciences  ;"  an  extensive  collection  of  idi- 
oms ;  items  from  newspapers ;  advertisements ;  an  extensive  col- 
lection of  classified  words,  phrases,  and  expressions,  referring  to  va- 
rious departments  of  science,  art,  politics,  religion,  trade,  manufac- 
tures, and  daily  life  (with  lists  of  adjectives,  regular  verbs,  homonyms, 
and  compound  words) ;  and  a  number  of  pages  of  German  current 
hand.  The  volume  contains  also  frequent  grammatical  references 
to  the  "  German  Course." 


Commendatory  Testimonials,  Notices,  &c. 

The  following  are  a  few  of  the  commendations  of  the  German 
Series  received  from  prominent  educational  sources :

College,  Hanoi' er,  N.  H. 
We  have  adopted  the  Grammar  (German  Course),  and  it  is  now

ment, on  the  whole,  the  best  German  Grammar  published  in  this 
country. 

From  J.  H.  Bren Neman,  Principal  of  High- School,  Chillicothe,  O. 
It  is  the  best  German  Grammar  in  print.

From  C.  P.  Wilcox,  Professor  of  Modern  Languages  in  the  Georgia

It  is  a  somewhat  invidious  task  to  substitute  new  class-books  for 
those  already  in  use.  The  fact  that  I  have  done  so  in  this  instance 
is  a  proof  of  the  value  I  set  upon  Prof  Comfort's  "  Course."  I  was 
so  struck  with  its  peculiar  adaptedness  to  the  wants  of  our  Ameri- 
can students  that  I  determined  to  introduce  it  into  my  classes. 

From  B.  W.  Dwight,  Ph.D.,  Vice-Presidejtt  American  Philological 
Association. 
Having  taught  German  for  twenty-five  years,  I  have  used  every  one 
of  the  manuals  of  instruction  in  that  noble  language,  and  have  found 
them  each  marked  with  decided  faults — some  in  being  too  minute, 
complicated,  and  voluminous,  and  others  in  being  quite  too  general 
and  vague.  Prof.  Comfort's  "Course"  is  happily  free  from  these 
faults,  and  is  scholarly,  practical,  and  well  adapted  to  the  real  wants 
of  those  who  wish  to  learn  the  German  language  rapidly  and  well. 

From  Prof  F.  L.  O.  Koy-IIVUG,  formerly  Director  of  the  Polyglot  Bu- 
reau, Nrtv  York,  and  now  Professor  in  Cornell  University. 
After  a  careful  examination  of  Prof  Comfort's  work,  I  hasten  to 
express  to  you  my  high  appreciation  of  its  merits.  This  being  the 
first  German  Grammar  in  the  English  language  that  stands  on  the 
solid  foundation  of  true  and  scientific  philology,  its  appearance  ought 

0  be  hailed  with  delight  by  every  fair  critic. 

The  Germans  can  now  be  proud  of  having  our  beloved  mother 
tongue  presented  to  the  American  public  in  a  worthy  form. 

The  introductory  lessons  are  remarkable  for  the  lucid  and  prac- 
tical manner  in  which  the  elements  of  the  language  are  there  un- 
folded. 

The  idiomatic  accuracy  of  the  German  exercises  is  one  of  the  most 
striking  features  of  this  excellent  work. 

From  G.  F.  Behringer,  Assistant  Professor  of  German,  Cornell  Uni- 
versity. 
We  propose  introducing  Comfort's  "  German  Course  "  into  all  our 
:lasses  next  trimester,  numbering  one  hundred  and  fifty  students. 

Fro7n  Rev.  William  Nast,  D.D.,  Editor  of-Der  Christliche  Apolo- 
get,'^  and  President  of  German  Wallace  College,  Berea,  Ohio. 

The  study  of  the  German  language  is  finding  its  proper  place  in 
the  regular  course  of  schools  of  every  grade.  Among  the  text-books 
which  have  lately  been  published  to  facilitate  the  study  of  this  im- 
portant and  somewhat  difficult  language.  Prof  Comfort's  "  German 
Course  "  takes  a  high  rank. 

The  chief  requisite  for  a  practical  Grammar  of  a  living  language 
is  fully  met  by  Prof  Comfort.  The  scholar  is  not  needlessly  bur- 
dened with  theory,  but  is  taught,  by  well-chosen  exercises  and  ex- 
amples, at  the  very  start,  to  make  practical  efforts  himself 

From  Prof  Oscar  Howes,  A.M.,  of  Shurtleff  College,  Upper  Alton,  III. 
I  am  much  pleased  with  Comfort's  "German  Course,"  and  think 

1  shall  like  it  better  than  any  other. 

From  Mrs.  A,  C.  Knight,  Wilbraham,  Mass. 
I  have  used  the  "  German  Course  "  two  terms,  and  am  well  pleased 
with  it.     I  prefer  it  to  any  Grammar  T  have  yet  used. 


Comfort's  German  Series.  5 

From  Prof.  Friedrich  Stengel,  School  of  Mines,  Columbia  College, 
New  York. 

Prof.  Comfort's  "  German  Course  "  rises  above  the  common  mech- 
anism of  modern  text-books. 

This  method  is  well  calculated  to  introduce  the  pupil  gradually  to 
the  difficulties  of  the  language ;  and  the  clear  and  logical  mode  of 
arrangement  contributes  to  facilitate  study  to  such  a  degree  that,  if 
the  instructor  follows  the  practical  hints  given  in  the  "Teacher's 
Companion  to  the  German  Course,"  the  pupil,  with  a  little  perse- 
verance, will  soon  be  able  to  read  our  German  authors,  and  write  and 
speak  with  propriety. 

From   Miss   Rachel   Redford,  Principal  of  Seminary,  Barking 
Ridge,  N.y. 
I  have  no  hesitancy  in  saying  that  Comfort's  "  First  Book  in  Ger- 
man "  is  the  best  on  its  subject  that  I  have  ever  examined. 

From  Prof.  T.  B.  Threlkeld,  Salem  College,  Ay. 
I  regard  Comfort's  "  German  Course  "  a  very  superior  work.     It 
renders  easy  the  study  of  the  German  language. 

From  Prof  L.  G.  Marshall,  Harrison  Academy,  Cynthiana,  Ky. 

It  seems  to  me  certainly  the  most  scholarly  production  on  the 
subject  in  our  country,  and  last,  if  not  least,  it  is  the  most  beautifully 
printed. 

From  Prof.  J.  C.  Van  Benschoten,  Wesleyan  University,  Middle- 
town,  Conn. 
I  have  found  Prof  Comfort's  "  German  Course "  the  best  text- 
book in  the  German  language  I  have  ever  used. 

From  Gen.  Franz  Sigel. 

I  have  with  some  care  perused  the  new  English-German  Gram- 
mar of  Prof  Comfort,  and  I  think  it  my  duty  to  write  these  few  lines 
as  an  appreciation  of  the  method  applied  in  the  book.  Such  a  Gram- 
mar and  compendium  is  an  excellent  addition  to  what  we  possess  in 
this  line  of  literature,  and  undoubtedly  will  find  its  way  into  our  En- 
glish and  German-American  schools  where  the  German  language 
has  been  made  a  branch  of  study.  It  is  "  short,  sharp,  and  decisive," 
and  gives  high  proof  of  the  thorough  and  comprehensive  mind  of  its 
author. 

From  Dr.  H.  Von  Holst,  N'ew  York. 

It  gives  me  satisfaction  to  state,  after  a  pretty  careful  examination 
of  Prof  G.  F.  Comfort's  "  German  Course,"  that  I  think  the  book 
may  conscientiously  be  recommended  to  every  teacher.  It  will  be 
found  practical  as  well  as  reliable. 

From  Dr.  J.  B.  Feuling,  Professor  of  Comparative  Philology,  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin,  Madison. 
I  consider  Prof  Comfort's  "  German  Course  "  a  very  good  book, 
and  I  will  introduce  it  here  at  the  next  change  of  our  text-books. 

From  F.  Christianer,  County  Superiiitejtdent,  Abingdon,  Knox  Co.^ 

III. 
After  a  due  examination,  I  conclude  the  "  Course  "  is  easy,  progress- 
ive, and  comprehensible,  and  just  the  thing  for  our  American  students. 
Being  a  German  by  birth  and  education,  I  fully  appreciate  the  work, 
and  shall  with  pleasure  recommend  it  to  our  public  institutions. 


Comforfs  German  Series. 


From  Eugene  Von  Nordhausen,  A.M.,  LL.B.,  late  Professor  of 
Modern  Languages,  New  York. 

It  was  with  great  pleasure  that  I  perused  carefully  a  "  German 
Course  "  published  by  Harper  &  Brothers.  Without  criticising  the 
former  works  on  the  subject,  I  must  acknowledge  the  great  superior- 
ity of  this  in  the  mode  of  introducing  this  difficult  language  to  stu- 
dents. 

I  have  no  doubt  that  an  ordinary  good  scholar  may,  alone,  with 
the  help  of  this  book,  learn  enough  of  the  German  language  to  en- 
able him  to  enjoy  its  beauties. 

Frofn  Prof  Joseph  E.  King,  Prhicipal  of  Fort  Edward  Institute,  N.  V. 
Comfort's  "  German  Course  "  has  more  than  realized  our  expect- 
ations. 

From  J.  H.  Ford,  Principal  of  School,  feannerette,  Parish  Iberia,  La. 
It  is  a  "  Course"  prepared  with  remarkable  care ;  the  rules  are  con- 
cise and  lucid.     I  have  decided  to  use  it  in  my  future  classes. 

Frofn  Dr.  George  W.  Erdmann,  Teacher  of  German  in  New  York. 
My  first  judgment  has  not  only  been  fully  justified,  but  I  have 
found  it  answerable  and  useful  far  beyond  my  expectations.     I  shall 
use  Comfort's  "German  Course"  exclusively  hereafter. 

From  J.  C.  Brodfuehrer,  Professor  of  Languages,  College  Hill,  O. 
Of  the  many  text-books  with  which  I  am  acquainted,  I  consider 
Comfort's  the  best  for  clearness  of  statement  and  arrangement.  The 
best  recommendation  of  the  work  is  that  it  has  bravely  stood  the  test 
of  the  school-room  and  class  examination.  I  wish  every  instructor 
of  German  could  see  this  book  to  compare  it  with  others  and  judge 
for  himself. 

From  Prof  A.  F.  Berhdolt,  Mercer sbiirg  College,  Franklin  Co.,  Pa. 
The  work  commends  itself  to  all  students  of  German.  Teachers 
of  German  have  long  felt  the  want  of  a  Grammar  embodying,  as  this 
does,  at  the  same  time,  the  grammatical  forms  and  the  history  and 
development  of  such  forms.  The  tables  of  the  Comparison  of 
Words  in  the  Indo-European  Languages  are  of  incalculable  benefit 
to  the  student. 

From  Rev.  N.  E.  Coj^'LEIGYI,  President  of  Eastern  Tennessee  Wesleyan 
University,  Athens. 

I  like  the  "  German  Course  "  better  for  a  text-book  than  any  other 
/)f  the  many  it  has  been  my  privilege  to  examine.  For  method,  com- 
pleteness, and  critical  accuracy  I  consider  it  superior  to  any  other  in 
this  country. 

From  Prof  J.  B.  Garritt,  Hanover  College,  Lid. 

I  have  already  carefully  gone  over  the  first  part  of  the  *'  German 
Course,"  and  am  so  much  pleased  with  it  that  I  have  decided  to  use 
it  the  next  year  with  my  class. 

Fro7n  Prof  Louis  Kistler,  Northwestern  University,  Evanston,  III. 
I  can  conscientiously  recommend  it  as  a  most  suitable  introduc- 
tion into  the  living,  spoken  speech  of  the  German  people,  while  it 
furnishes,  at  the  same  time,  the  essential  principles  necessary  to  lead 
to  an  understanding  of  the  rich  literature  of  Germany.  The 
"  Course  "  will  supply,  in  this  regard,  a  long-felt  want. 


Comfort's  German  Series. 


Fro?n  Prof.  T.  \V.  Tobey,  Paducah,  Ky. 
The  complete  "German  Course,"  by  G.  F.  Comfort,  A.M.,  is  a 
valuable  work.     It  only  needs  the  trial  of  the  school-room  to  be 
highly  appreciated  by  teachers  of  the  German  language. 

From  Dr.  Wm.  C.  Grossman,  Coyiier's  Springs  Female  Institute,  Fa. 
It  is  indeed  an  excellent  work,  and  one  we  have  been  long  in  want 
of.     With  such  a  book  in  hand,  it  is  truly  a  delight  to  study  and 
to  teach  the  German  language. 

From  Albert  Jennings,  Principal  of  Union  School,  Lawton,  Mich. 
The  more  I  use  Comfort's  "  Course,"  the  more  I  like  it. 

From  Prof.  John  Rosenberg,  ^^i??//*?  University ,  Chappell Hill,  Texas. 
After  a  thorough  and  candid  study  of  Comfort's  "  Course,"  the 
lucid  treatment  of  his  subject,  the  harmonious  combination  of  theory 
and  practice,  with  the  short  though  comprehensive  history  of  the 
language,  have  induced  me  to  recommend  the  **  Course  "  for  adop- 
tion as  a  text-book  of  the  University. 

From  James  T.  Smith,  Wadesboro,  N.  C. 
Knowing,  as  we  do,  that  you  depend  entirely  on  the  merits  of  this 
book  to  secure  popularity,  we  must  congratulate  you  as  the  publish- 
ers of  this  truly  excellent  work.  *  *  *  There  is  one  subject  on  which 
we  all  agree,  viz.,  that  the  third  part  of  Comfort's  "  Course  "  is  the 
most  systematic,  scientific,  and  truly  philosophical  treatise  on  the 
language  in  the  English  language. 

From  Rev.  J.  C.  Pershing,  D.D.,  President  of  Pittsburg  Female 
College. 
It  affords  me  pleasure  to  say  that,  at  the  suggestion  of  our  excel- 
lent teacher  of  German,  your  "  German  Course  "  was  adopted  as  one 
of  our  text-books  at  the  commencement  of  the  present  collegiate 
year. 

From  Rev.  James  Gilmour,  Principal  of  Falley  Seminary,  Fulton^ 
New  York. 
Your  **  German  Course,"  by  G.  F.  Comfort,  has  been  examined  by 
our  German  Professor.     He  pronounces  it  "  admirable,"  and  will  in- 
troduce it  to  the  next  class. 

From  Pro£  Henry  Oldenhage,  Galena,  III. 
We  find  Comfort's  books  satisfactory.     They  stand  the  test  in  the 
recitation-room. 

From  John  P.  Lacroix,  Ohio  Wesleyan  University,  Dclaxmre,  O. 
I  have  taken  a  class  of  thirty-eight  through  Comfort's  "  German 
Course,"  and  I  have  no  hesitation  in  placing  it  far  above  any  similar 
work  which  I  have  examined,  both  in  respect  to  clearness  of  state- 
ment and  scientific  arrangement,  and  to  adaptation  to  a  rapid  acquir- 
ing of  a  practical  mastery  of  this  richest  of  all  languages. 

From  Rev.  Alexander  Buries,  Simpson  Centenary  College,  Indianola, 
Iowa. 
I  introduced  your  "  German  Course  "  at  the  beginning  of  the  pres- 
ent collegiate  year,  and  have  been  using  it  ever  since.     I  am  highly 
delighted  with  it. 


8  Comforfs  German  Series. 

From  Prof.  O.  Howes,  A.M.,  Shurtleff  College,  Upper  Alton,  III. 

I  regard  Comfort's  "  German  Reader"  as  an  excellent  book,  thor- 
oughly edited  and  beautifully  published.     The  selections  are  good, 
well  arranged,  and  unusually  varied  in  their  character,  and,  as  should 
be  the  case  m  an  elementary  reader,  they  are  mostly  in  prose. 
From  John  P.  Lacroix,  Ohio  Wesleyan  University,  Delaware,  O. 

The  "  Reader  "  consists  of  excellent  selections  from  the  best  mod- 
ern authors,  and  is  a  worthy  and  essential  sequel  to  the  "  Grammar." 

From  Prof.  La  Theo.  Jobe,  St.  JoJms  College,  Little  Rock,  Ark. 

Comfort's  "  German  Reader  "  I  have  examined  with  great  pleas- 
ure. The  judicious  selection  m  its  compilation,  and  its  typograph- 
ical elegance  and  correctness,  highly  recommend  its  introduction 
into  schools  and  colleges. 

From  Prof.  Ernst  Moench,  Bethlehem,  Pa. 
Comfort's  '*  German  Reader  "  is,  in  my  opinion,  a  most  excellent 
work. 

From  Prof.  A.  B.  Hyde,  Alleghany  College,  Meadville,  Pa. 

I  find  Prof  Comfort's  "  German  Reader  "  fully  worthy  of  his  rep- 
utation, and  his  industry,  taste,  and  learning  combine  to  make  it  a 
most  excellent  book. 

Fro7n  C.  PI.  Isham,  New  York  City. 

Comfort's  "  German  Reader  "  is  first-rate — just  what  I  wanted. 
From  the  *'  College  Courant,^''  New  Haven,  Conn. 

The  "German  Course"  is  adapted  to  all  tastes.  We  have  here 
the  old  style  of  theoretical  grammar,  and  also  the  new  practical 
methods  that  have  been  devised  for  teaching  language.  *  *  *  The 
treatment  is,  in  general,  full  enough  for  all  practical  purposes.  The 
rules  are  clear,  concise,  well  expressed,  and  at  the  same  time  com- 
prehensive of  the  whole  principle.  There  is  no  useless  verbiage. 
From  the  '' N.  V.  Tribune:' 

The  great  merit  of  Prof  Comfort  as  a  teacher  of  languages,  in  the 
present  as  well  as  in  his  former  works,  consists  in  his  remarkable 
power  of  adaptation.  He  evinces  a  rare  sympathy  with  the  intel- 
lectual wants  of  the  pupil,  and  usually  furnishes  him  with  a  key  to 
the  actual  difficulties  of  the  case,  instead  of  increasing  his  perplexities 
by  abstruse  theories  which  belong  to  an  advanced  stage  of  progress. 
From  the  ''  Pittslurg  (Pa.)  Gazette:' 

We  find  the  work  clearly  indicates  an  advanced  position  in  the 
study  of  German,  and  is  excellently  arranged  for  acquiring  a  thor- 
ough knowledge  of  the  language.  Prof  Comfort  has  incorporated 
the  methods  and  principles  of  the  best  and  most  thorough  educators 
in  Europe  and  America,  and  the  principles  and  features  of  the  best 
minds  are  here  moulded  into  a  system  admirably  adapted  to  the 
wants  of  the  different  grades  of  institutions  of  learning.  *  *  *  The 
work  is  well  suited  for  colleges  and  other  schools,  and  is  worthy  to 
be  introduced  every  where.
